PYROFUEL

The PYROFUEL project will develop a new methodology to enable the use of forest residues as feedstock for a new generation of biofuels. The methodology is backed by a disruptive thermochemical pyrolysis process to convert forest residues from any plant species into a uniform and stable bio-oil, which will subsequently be transformed into a sustainable aviation fuel source through a chemical hydrorefining treatment with highly selective catalysts.

MOFs4SAF
The GENERAL OBJECTIVE of the MOFs4SAF project will be to research, develop, and validate, at a pilot scale and under pre-industrial conditions, an integrated technological route for the capture and conversion of CO2 from industrial sources into advanced synthetic fuels: methanol, ethanol, and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). This will be achieved through the use of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) with specific functionalities: selective adsorption (TAMOF-1) and heterogeneous catalysis to methanol (Cu/Zif-8) and ethanol (new MOF design). This will establish the necessary scientific and technological foundations for the sustainable production of drop-in fuels, compatible with international aeronautical regulations, and applicable to both civil and military aviation (dual SAF Jet-A1 and JP-8). subsequently be transformed into a sustainable aviation fuel source through a chemical hydrorefining treatment with highly selective catalysts.
